From the reviews
A very comfortable shopping experience with excellent service and extremely knowledgeable staff. I told them what I was looking for, and the technician, James, selected a few very good guitar options.
Staff was overwhelmed but were quite helpful when they got free. Bought a used guitar on this visit, and the pickup selector was apparently fixed by the GC tech. I didn't have time to test it in the store, as I was already waiting for over 40 minutes and had a 2-hr drive home.
This place made my life a lot better. I've been taking guitar lessons for almost a year and I have been amazed at what I've learned from my Instructor Mr. Wesley in the Beaumont location. Also, everybody here is outstanding and they all are great teachers and great friends to have as well!
Thank you to their guitar tech James. His customer service, knowledge and willingness to help makes him a great addition to their business. Beaumont will always be my first choice.
Selling or trading gear at Guitar Center
Guitar Center comes up for buying and trading used gear — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the trip go better. First, bring the whole package: the case or gig bag, the original tremolo arm or bridge parts, the paperwork if you have it — a complete rig is worth real money more than a bare instrument, and it saves the back-and-forth of "can you bring the case in?" Second, know that trade credit almost always beats the cash offer, usually by a healthy margin — if you're upgrading anyway, price your old gear as a trade against the new one before you take cash. Either way, expect the offer to be below what the gear sells for on the wall; the gap is the store's margin for setup, warranty, and sitting on it until the right buyer walks in.
Lessons at Guitar Center
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Guitar Center. If you're signing up a beginner (or restarting yourself), a quick call ahead answers the three things that matter: which instruments they teach, whether the schedule has openings at the time you actually need, and what a first lesson costs. There's no wrong first guitar — a good teacher will happily work with whatever you walk in with, and a shop that teaches usually keeps affordable starter instruments and rentals on hand for exactly this reason.
